* RECEPTION FOR DR. ft MRS. CLIFFORD SMITH
Joe and Bobbie Nunn opened their lovely Parkrose home to over 100 invited
guests this past weekend in celebration o f the newly appointed Black Vice
President o f Oregon State University, C liffo rd Smith and his charming wife
Nina.
Prior to Smith’s appointment, he was Director o f Nuclear Materials Safety
and Safeguard, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ( N R O , located in the
nation's capital. Regional Administrator with the E n v iro nm ental Protection
Agency (Region 10 Seattle). Associate Professor o f Engineering at C ity College
in New York, an Associate Professor at Tufts University in New Y o rk , and
Smith also holds a Ph D from John Hopkins University. The Smith's have
three children — all girls — one married and living in Washington. D .C .. and
the other two are attending school in Corvallis.
The reception was hosted by Robert MacVicar, President of Oregon State
University; Pearl Spears-Gray; Bobbie Nunn; June Key; Margaret Carter;
Betty G riffin ; and Anna Street.
It became quite apparent as soon as I walked in the door that a lot o f plan
ning and preparation had gone into the overall success o f the reception. When
you have such talented people working together to achieve a certain objective,
success is inevitable!
TALKING WITH CHICK COREA
I f there is one thing you can say about Chick Corea as a musician it ’s consis
tency. In nearly twenty years as a performer Chick Corea continues to give the
world excellent musical presentations.
In his quest for pleasing himself and the public, a thing happened; he created
his own sound. Just as other keyboard giants in the field have been doing over
the years. Such as; Horace Silver, Oscar Peterson. Ramsey Lewis, McCoy
Tyner and Herbie Hancock to name a few. D o n ’t get me wrong. I ’m not saying
that Chick Corea has arrived — but rather — the public has arrived. Corea and
I had a one-on-one interview at the posh Portland Plaza last week and check
out what he had to say.
Jones: Chick, you’ve spent quite a bit o f time in the Northwest. A re you
planning on relocating from Hollywood?
Corea: I ’ll tell you A l1 really wouldn’t mind h. Oregon is a beautiful state,
but the pulse of my business, as you know is in Hollyw ood, so I ’ll stay there.
Jones: Y o u ’re new single album "Secret Agent” is definitely in the winners
circle. H ow is it doing nationally?
Corea: From all indications it’s doing quite well. O f course there is no way o f
knowing right now if it will turn Gold or not, but we’re hoping (smile).
Jones: AJ Jarreau adds a very nice touch to ‘ ‘ Secret Agent” . W h a t’s he like?
Corea: AJ Jarreau is a very special talent. H e ’s thoroughly professional, a
gentleman, and a very good fncnd. W e'll be working together again in the
future.
Jones: I didn’t want to mention it but I realize that you also have another
album out with Herbie Hancock, but I don’t have it yet. You can send me that
one when you return to H ollyw ood (smile)? Care to comment on it?
Corea: It was a musical experience for all o f us. Herbie and I have been on
the same bill many times and we talked about doing an album together but
never got around to it until now. W e are both very pleased with it, and yes I ’ll
send you a copy (smile).
Jones: H ow long have you been playing the piano Chick?
Corea: Since I was five years old.
Jones: D id you have a favorite pianist as a kid?
Corea: Horace Stiver was and still is my favorite pianist. When I was a kid in
Boston, 1 remember when Horace was appearing at a d u b called Storyville and
a buddy o f mine and myself snuck in one afternoon and Horace was sitting at
the piano composing a tune. We sat far in the back and stayed there without say
ing a word for two hours! That's when I knew I would be a pianist some day.
Jones Do you think you have reached a musical peak in your career’’
Corea: N o, I don’t A l. I would one day like to write a musical score. Not
only for me but for people like; Freddie Hubbard, Stanley Clark and others. I
would also like to do concerts with other artists — together on stage.
Jones: H ow long have you been involved in Scientology?
Corea: I t ’s been about ten years now.
Jones Has Scientology helped you personally or musically?
Corea: Yes it has! You learn not to complicate your life and not to accept
other people’s values.
Jones: W ho are some o f the people that I might recognize that are involved in
Scientology?
Corea: Let's see — A l Jarreau, Stanley C lark, John Travolta and John Hen
drix — to name a few.
Jones: I know you’re here to promote The Delphian Conservatory o f Music
down in Sheridan. H ow are things coming along?
Corea: W e are really pleased with the schools’ progress. In time this will be
one o f the best musical conservatory’s in the country!
Jones: Where are you headed from Portland?
f".^'ea On June 16th I ’ ll be playing at the H ollyw ood Bowl; July 7th
Berkeley Jazz Festival; from there I ’ll be going to Europe for a few months.
Jones: I understand that you have a motto that you live by. W hat is it?
Corea Life is basically simple!
